2nd Grade ELP---We are Engineers!
The 2nd grade ELP group began the year with the folktale "John Henry" and discussed how John had a problem......he could break the rocks faster than the machine BUT the demolished rocks couldn't be cleared away faster enough...SO, engineers design a process or product to solve a problem or meet a need.....
Below are a few photos showing how we have brainstormed solutions, revised our plans using feedback from others, tested the ideas and begun the creation of a solution with the resources we have available.
A very special thanks to Mrs. Jenny Stessman, our Instructional Strategist, for co-teaching and helping our students develop even stronger questions, strategies and products.

Our problem and the original creations/solutions
What is an Engineer?
"Thank you, Mrs. Stessman" for helping us rethink our thinking!
With COLLABORATION we can create amazingly strong solutions!
Below are standards in Mathematical Practice/Reasoning which we utilize during this study:
CC.K-12.MP.1
Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
CC.K-12.MP.2
Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
CC.K-12.MP.4
Model with mathematics.
CC.K-12.MP.3
Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others (in a respectful and helpful way).
